This year is sparse and ordinary, the mother and mother ate a meal of mutton dumplings and listened to the sound of firecrackers outside all night, even if it is the New Year.

On the first day of the first lunar month, early in the morning, Yunzhu boiled four sweet wine eggs and ate them with Tian Tian.

"Let's go to Cihang Temple to burn incense in a while, you can follow us well, don't run around." Yunzhu combed Tian Tian's hair while instructing her.

"Are there a lot of them?"

"I don't know yet, I won't know until they come."

The two are still dressing up, Liu Qiaoyu, Sun Taohua, and Liu Qiaoyu's little sister, Liu Qiaoxiang, and Li Xiaojiao, who usually likes to joke with Qiaoyu, also came.

The quiet courtyard suddenly came to these girls, and the chatter was very lively.

"Sister Song, we're here to greet you for the New Year." Qiaoyu's voice is not small, these girls are all younger than Yunzhu, and Qiaoxiang is only one and a half years older than Tian Tian.

Xiangmei also came over, and she also had to hurry to pay New Year's greetings to Yunzhu.

This gift was not in vain, Yunzhu prepared some of the same year, and no one gave him a New Year's greeting of five cents as a New Year's red envelope. Although Wuwen is not much, you can also buy two large steamed buns and a boiled egg.

Everyone got the money and liked it.

It's been a long time since I was finally able to go out.

On this day, the weather was a little cold, and the wind was blowing all the time. Yunzhu turned out the thick cotton jacket as well. She had been worried about Tian Tian being cold, but she was running around, so she didn't think it would be cold. After a short time, Tian Tian became familiar with Qiaoxiang.

"Sister Song will also go to Cihang Temple with us to ask for a signature?" Qiaoyu asked.

"Asking for a signature?" Yunzhu really didn't think about it.

Xiangmei next to her said: "Yes, the sign in Cihang Temple is very effective, and I plan to ask for one." ”

"What is Meizi asking for?" Sun Taohua asked in a low voice.

Li Xiaojiao said with a smile: "What can she ask for, it must be for marriage, and she wants to have a wishful husband." Everyone laughed.

Xiangmei blushed and defended: "I asked for a marriage sign for my brother, and you have to mess around like this." ”

Sun Taohua is a person who has something on her mind, and she doesn't dare to ask any more. Walking slowly, Qiaoyu next to her asked her, but she didn't answer much.

The girls cooed to the entrance of the village, and there were many people sitting on the bluestone under the locust tree. When she saw this group of girls, some people came over to join in the fun, but some aunts saw that Yunzhu's mother and daughter were also there, thinking that their family had drowned both mother and daughter, so they felt bad luck and never talked to Yunzhu.

Li Xiaojiao's mother pulled her and said, "What are you doing with a cousin, it's not too unlucky." ”

Li Xiaojiao glanced at her mother: "I'm willing, my mother can't control me." ”

That mother is half dead, if it weren't for the first day of the new year, she would definitely teach her daughter a good lesson, and a group of people next to her watched, she couldn't scold. After all, she is notoriously virtuous.

Cihang Temple is halfway up Dacang Mountain, which is not too far. The group finally came to the foot of the mountain, but met the young men from the village. Among them are Wang Qingshan, Liu Meng, Feng Ping'an, Heigoudan, etc.

When Qiaoyu saw her brother, she stepped forward to greet her first: "My brother went out early in the morning, why is he still under the mountain, and he doesn't wait for me!" ”

Liu Meng smiled innocently: "I also said that I didn't wait for you, I haven't been up the mountain all this time, I'm waiting for you here." As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Xiangmei, who was inconspicuous in the crowd. didn't dare to talk to Xiangmei, so he put his arm on Ping'an's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Ping'an, when will we do it together again." ”

It's still cold in the first month, and you can't hunt anything other than hares. But it's okay in the first month, and I'm idle at home anyway, so Ping An agreed: "Okay, we'll go after the eighth day of the new year." ”

Liu Meng was very happy, and wanted to bring peace closer, and the distance between him and the Feng family would be closer. When there are fewer things at home, I told my father and mother to let the matchmaker come to the door to propose the marriage.

The girls are naturally in a group, and they don't talk to these teenagers very much.

Everyone headed to the top of the mountain. Xiangmei and Yunzhu are together, and the two are almost at the end of the line.

"Sister Song, please ask for one too."

"What do I ask for?"

Xiangmei said with a smile: "There are many things you can ask for, what kind of house is safe, people are prosperous, business is prosperous, gold list titles, God-given good fate, husband and wife are harmonious, and officials are added to the knighthood, etc." Xiangmei said almost all the good and auspicious words she knew.

Yun Zhu also smiled: "I don't want to be added to the knighthood, and I don't need the title of the gold list and the harmony of the husband and wife." As long as the house is safe and the people are prosperous, it will be. ”

Xiangmei smiled: "Sister Song doesn't ask for marriage? ”

"What kind of marriage do I ask for, I already have a field, and who can look down on me, a lower cousin. Forget it, a person can live a lifetime, and there are so many bad things missing. ”

Xiangmei thought, her sister Song is not very old, but it is too lonely to live like this for a lifetime. Later, when Tian Tian grew up and got married, wouldn't she be even more lonely. Besides, it would be a pity if such a character did not marry.

Yun Zhu saw that Xiangmei looked at her with a little pity in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about me, I don't want to do these things right now." You said that you were going to ask for marriage for your brother, but it was a serious matter. If only I could meet a good relationship this year. ”

Xiangmei glanced at her brother who was walking in front, the elder brother was the tallest in this group, so he was the most conspicuous. She said secretly: A loyal and honest person like my brother has so many advantages, why can't these girls in the village see it. It's past the beginning of spring, which means that spring is coming soon, but when will her brother's spring wait?

At this moment, Feng Ping'an suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xiangmei, and by the way, he also saw Yunzhu.

Xiangmei waved at him.

Ping An only smiled innocently, but when he saw Yunzhu beside his sister, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly turned his head.

Yunzhu saw Ping'an smiling at them, she was about to respond, but Ping'an suddenly turned her head again. Suddenly I was a little lost.

Peach Blossom suddenly walked over at this time, affectionately took Xiangmei's arm, and said with a smile: "Meizi, Sister Song." Tomorrow my mother said that she would fry melon seeds. I'll fry too. Let's come to my house together. ”

Xiangmei said: "Tomorrow is the second day of junior high school, and I want to go to my grandmother's house, but I'm afraid I won't be able to come." ”

Peach Blossom was a little embarrassed, her home was in the next county, and she had to be delayed for three or four days on the road, so she didn't move around. In the second year of junior high school, he rarely followed his mother back to his home. So he sneered: "I forgot about this, it's better to be the fourth year of junior high school, you should be free." But I'm coming. ”

Yunzhu knew that Peach Blossom's mother was famous for her love of telling right and wrong, and there were those rumors before, how could she go to Sun's house. After thinking for a while, he said to Peach Blossom: "I still have something to do in the fourth year of junior high school, so I'll forget it." ”

Peach Blossom didn't care much, but smiled: "It's okay, Sister Song has something to do, forget it, I'll put some on Sister Song when I go back." ”

Yunzhu then understood that Peach Blossom said that she was just inviting her by the way, mainly to invite Xiangmei.
